My team is in a slump, although it doesn’t look like it. I’ve been top 2 since I enter this league. Still haven’t won the title to prove being good/solid team. Every season has been challenge, always dealing with high salary teams (look at the history of the winning teams). I don’t think my team is equip to handle salary monsters. So, I may blow this team up and restart over. Sorry, for when I do our side will be less competitive

Oh, I think you've shown you have a pretty good team. Always right up there. Don't know how the guys with the big payrolls are doing it, I'm almost completely maxed out, myself.

I don’t have a big bank roll, I’m living pay check to pay check lmao, I know how to build players that salary friendly. I can share some with you. You can search this guy his team is “wavy gates” we share builds in discord USA. His team is really good, all salary friendly beasts.

*Says the two teams sitting at the top of their respective conferences.

You two are clearly doing something right and crushing foes.

Gill, what sort of tips/tricks can you share about training salary friendly players? My salaries are ballooning and I'm afraid I may not be able to keep my main Big dawg for much longer at his rate of acceleration.

If you two are talking about blowing up your teams, can you do it before I play either of you again? Haha. jk.

Also, Gill, why does your team page (and that of Wavy Gates both) say 'managed by a computerized player'?

LOL, I kinda consider it an accident I'm on top for now. Be great to stay there, but only time will tell if I do.
Not ready to blow up yet as long as I can keep the money in the black.

Haha, sounds fair. Are you actively training any of your young guys or just gunning for win-now/build up a war-chest of cash reserves?

We’re RL friends and thought it’d funny to be labeled as bots, we went the same high school! I suckered him into playing 😂 he’s been okay ever since

Yes- you dont want to train primary skills first and mostly, EX: guards their primaries skills are passing JS JR, you can delay or deflate the inflation by not training direct but training indirectly, like doing two seasons of 1v1F will train an assert of skills. It’s also better to start 1v1 because they’re young and most added on skill won’t be expensive to start

That's cool, I bet that's nice having some people on here that you know in RL. Do y'all scrimmage often or smack talk much?

Good to know about training. I think I did it backwards. I was thinking that if I train primary skills then I could still be competitive while training, but the issue is that it inflates their salary and they are only good when I'm against undermatched opponents. What do you do in the meantime while training on secondary skills for like 2 seasons. Just focus on a select few players or sit on the bottom of the rankings or what?

In other news, I'm seeing some matchups this week outside of league play with league competitors; that's cool.
-Gill, you and I are matched up in the BBM tourney.
-Ten Jaguars and California Supreme are matched up in the Cup. Who do y'all have in those matchups?

Another interesting question; who do y'all think will be on the allstar ballot and 3-point contest and is it too early to make guesses at who might win MVP?

Well, nuts. I now have an 0-9 record all-time vs. Gill Thunder. So much for doing something right. Next time.

Does anyone know what contributes to an imbalance in fouls/foul shots in a game? For instance, in one the games this week one team had 47 free throw attempts while the other team had 4. Is there a stat/skill that someone can train for that or a game type?
